We're still here....











Sorry for the delay in posting. Things got a bit busy here and the updates were missed. Everything in fine. Grace remains seizure-free since the incident in mid-September. WOOHOO!

Gracie continues with the diet at the 2:1 ratio. We have found this to be manageable. Peanut butter, cashews, peanuts, and canola oil are lifesavers. We even mixed in some beef jerky. Gracie loves eating some of the fresh fruits and vegetables readily available. We have found that she loves seafood - and dipping it in butter - lots of butter. This is a great vehicle to get her to eat the butter. She usually requires a massive clean-up effort afterwards but it is so great to see her eat with such gusto. Gracie is just about back to the weight she started at when she started this diet. She is three inches taller but she no longer looks so gaunt.

We took a trip to Florida the end of September, beginning of October. We had a timeshare week that was a use it or lose it deal so we decided to use it! The girls were thrilled at another chance to see Shamu and visit Sea World. We did the dolphin spotlight tour. It was great. I have added some photos from that. Our kids are funny - they go to Orlando for SeaWorld and sometimes we see Disney.

I'll try to get more regular with the postings now!

Thanks for checking in with us!
Marie, Tom, Rita and Gracie
